Florida Rail Road Museum

The Florida Railroad Museum, Inc. was founded as The Florida Gulf Coast Railroad Museum with the stated goal of preserving Florida’s railroad history. Over the years, the Museum has aquired and restored rolling stock and equipment to operate for the public’s enjoyment. We hope our visitors appreciate the sights and sounds of Florida railroading as it existed in the 1940s and 1950s.

Napoleon’s Sister

I am always amazed at the delicate details and vivid colors of these old paintings. This was done by a french artist Rene-Theodore-Bertlon in 1812 of Princess Pauline Borghese youngest sister of Napoleon Bonaparte. This hangs in the Cummer Museum in Jacksonville Florida.
